edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do: Verify: Collect references Cleanup: Reorganize or rewrite the "Controversy" and "Releases" sections/ Check entire article for spelling and grammar mistakes; perform corrections, Songs section needs to be made more neutral and plot overview needs to be double checked for spelling and grammar as well as re-written in places so that it'll be understandable.

[edit] Suggestions

• Reduce length of "Synopsis" section per WP:MOSFILM#Plot
• Merge "Cast" and "Characters" section; trim cast members who have minor roles
• Convert "Songs" section into "Musical score" section; trim extraneous mentions of when songs appear in the film and focus more on their real-world context
• "Supervising animators" section may be too indiscriminate; perhaps combine with the "Cast"/"Characters" section (table format?)
• "Significance" section should be converted into prose
• "Abandoned concepts" section should be worked into a "Production" section, currently nonexistent
• "Merchandising" and "Promotional tie-ins" sections should be cited and woven together in a "Marketing" section
• "Trivia" section should be integrated with the rest of the article
• "Walt Disney Classics Collection" section should be merged with "Marketing"
• "See also" section should be discouraged; characters with singular appearances should not have their own articles
